Perhaps the answer of this question
is the Pyramid of Maslow.
Maslow drew a pyramid, as you know,
which we can see the different steps we need to feel good.
The base of this figure is human
being needs to be alive like food, health, to be warm. It is our animal
behavior.
The other different steps are going
grow up to reach to the top which is the self confidence and the feeling we
belong a society which we love and it loves us. All in all to be happy with
ourselves.
In my opinion to achieve the first
step is easy in our environment. There are not people starved. However, we can
find families who are not enough warmed because they don’t have money to pay
heating. Although nobody dies to be cold at home, I hope.
After getting the first step
everybody tries to reach the other ones. To get or don’t it depends of the
character and behavior of oneself. For instance, a positive and optimistic
buddy will be more appreciate than a negative and pessimistic one.
On the one hand we can find low
salaries families being happy, on the other hand we can see boys with a lot of
material goods cannot get a really life of satisfaction. A good and well paid
job in the city can be a source of frustration for a lot of people who prefer a
life in a village or even a farm.
Therefore to be happy is not what we
can. It is what we are. Maybe, we should change to be happy because happiness
is inside us.
